SUBSIDIARY SILVICULTUEAL REGULATIONS. SAL IN DEHRA DUN. 143 



" Operations (5) to (10) above should be repeated year after year 

 to the extent required, at the discretion of the Divisional Forest 

 Officer until the area is fully regenerated. It is the drty of the 

 Divisional Forest Officer to obtain complete regeneration of the 

 regeneration area and keep it tended when obtained and he should 

 issue orders for carrying out any works he may consider necessary 

 to stimulate or to benefit the young crop. 



" Sal should be sown broadcast and the seed covered half an 

 inch with earth. Sain and jaman should be sown on raised 

 mounds. Sain seed should not be covered, but jaman seed may be 

 covered about an inch. Ghir should be simply dibbled in and 

 lightly covered with earth." 



" It has already been emphasized that, with one or two note- 

 worthy exceptions, far from sufficient attention has been paid in Ranikhet 

 the past to the carrying out of the necessary operations subsidiary Working 

 to the regeneration fellings. A very high degree of importance is 

 attached to the proper carrying of such work, in fact without it 

 the advocated objects of management will not be attained. 



' Whenever necessary and possible, large trees should be lopped 

 before being felled and an expenditure of Es. 2 to Es. 3 per acre 

 on this work is fully justified. 



" Experience has shown that under the conditions prevalent in 

 these forests, to obtain reasonably complete and uniform regenera- 

 tion of cliir a great deal of care is required in encouraging natural 

 seedlings and no small degree of artificial assistance, which assist- 

 ance must be given at an early date. To this end the following 

 works are prescribed in the year after the fellings, or in the case of 

 sowing in the first rains after them, when seed is available : 



(1) The removal of marked trees left standing, unless their 



retention now seems desirable. 



(2) The removal of all bad advance growth, etc., too small to 



have been marked. 



(3) Cutting back of injured stems as far as required for the 



benefit of the surrounding crop.
